To configure an email program, e.g. Outlook Express, Mac Mail,
Thunderbird, etc By Paul
SMTP.1and1.com is outgoing server, use port 587 or 25 (default for most)
and authentication for login m37598951-<name> with that account's password.
587 was needed to handle some routing problems. The <name> is assigned
when we setup an account for email_name@laposadagv.net.
Pop.1and1.com is incoming server, port 110 (default for most programs),
authentication same as for SMTP. This is a POP3 server.
Careful, every email program is different. Some may not be able to handle
port 587. Be sure to use authentications and NOT SECURE (ss2 et al)
connections. Be sure the TCP/IP configuration is correct all the way,
ip, subnet, gateway, and dns servers. To test connections, Telnet to
the service, e.g.
Windows - Start | Run | Telnet smtp.1and1.com 587<enter>
should bring up a prompt from that smtp server. For Macintosh computers
search the web on "telnet macintosh free" and download one of the finds,
e.g. Nifty Telnet. Test the two ports being used. If Telnet works and
email does not, the problem is with the email program or its configuration.

Mac Mail: notes: To delete an account highlight then click "-" button at
bottom of the list. When you delete and account, all email associated with it
is deleted.
The little button on the upper right of the Mac Mail screen, looks like a
transparent pill capsule, expands and collapses the top toolbar.
Be sure to look at Advanced settings on an account - enabling and disabling
is only part of the challenge. The priority account is the first one in
the Account list - drag accounts into desired position.
To move AOL addresses to other email programs
Note: the AOL communicator noted in METHOD 1 works for moving addresses to
other programs, e.g. Thunderbird. Communicator is one of the entries in AOL's
AtoZ help window. When you install Communicator: uncheck everything but
"synch (or share) address book". Regardless of what you check, when you run
communicator, it pulls inbox email from AOL and leaves the email on AOL,
unchanged. METHOD 1 describes importing the addresses to Thunderbird - it
works, and creates an address book "AOL addresses". Slick!
METHOD 1. (For Apple's Address Book and others) (Bill Climie 4/12/05):
America Online for Mac OS X is a Roach Motel for contact lists -- this
program only lets this data in, not out. So you'll need to execute the
following three-step escape plan to liberate your address book and make it
readable to Apple's software. (Note that this workaround only extracts e-mail
addresses, not phone numbers or other contact info stored on AOL).
First, sign into AOL and download its free Communicator e-mail program (AOL
keyword: Communicator). Install and run this, and it will automatically fetch
your AOL address book from the online service. Select "All Contacts" from the
list of categories in the left of that window. Go to the File menu, choose
"Export . . ." and save this "All Contacts
" file to your Mac's Documents
folder.
Before Apple's Address Book can open this file, you must launder it through
different software. Download the free Mozilla Thunderbird mail program
(www.mozilla.org). Run it, declining its offer to import existing mail data.
Click its toolbar's address-book icon, then go to the Tools menu and select
"Import . . ." Choose "Address Books" and "Text file" as your import types,
then select the "All Contacts" file you just saved. Thunderbird will put
your AOL addresses in a new "All Contacts" category. Select that, return to
the Tools menu, choose "Export . . ." and save the file as "Address Book
contacts."
Step three: Open Address Book, go to the File menu's Import submenu, choose
"LDIF" and open "Address Book contacts." You'll have all those addresses --
plus a vague feeling of resentment at AOL's unhelpfulness. Don't forget to
add "@aol.com" to any AOL screen names, so that non-AOL applications can
understand them.
METHOD 2 (For Outlook Express) (Bill Climie 4/12/05):
Before you abandon AOL (if you're not interested in the new 7.0 version),
make sure that you can export your address book and contact lists to your
new ISP. And don't cancel AOL until you have your new ISP working. There's
no easy way to export AOL's Address Book to Outlook Express or Netscape
Mail, but I've found a workaround that will do the job.
1. Log on to AOL and send a message to everyone in your address book with
your new contact info. Copy yourself on this message. Log off.
2. Log on to your new ISP. Launch Outlook Express (which usually comes
preinstalled with Windows), open the message you sent to yourself, select
the Tools menu from inside that message, then click "Add to Address Book"
"Everyone on To List." Outlook Express will ask you to OK each new address book entry one by one. (Just make sure that none of these names are already in your Outlook Express address book, or the program will stop in the middle of the process.)
For Netscape Mail 6.1, follow the same steps but with one exception: click
each address in the To: field and add them to your contacts one by one. || || ||
